By Charles V. Stanton Again we're being played for suckers. The Truman gang is giving us a game of political patty 0u it hnnna we'll ha fnnlisli onouch to fall for its orona- f3 BRnd'a line. And, we expect, a good many people actually f !i will ha tnkpn in. , On one side we have part of the gang clamouring for a special session of Congress to tighten price controls. But the other half of the gang argues that if Congress came back, it would simply engage in politics. Don't count the Truman gang short on political savvy. The Socialist-Democrat party has been outsmarting the Re publicans right down the line. They've tossed us a lot of curves and change-of-pace balls in the past. Now they're crossing us up with a high, fast one. It should be obvious that any special session of Congress would be worse than useless. Certainly Congress wouldn't enact any new control legislation before November. With the possibility of a change in administration coming up, any sensible Congress would wait to see whether new policies were to be brought into the executive branch. By the time a special session would be convened, control legislation framed, ' studied, amended and passed, it would be election time, even though Congress acted with unusual haste. Fooling The Ppblic A special session of Congress couldn't pass the proposed legislation before November unless it rubber-stamped an ad ministration bill. Congress certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to pass any new controls until the temper of the na tion's voters is divulged by the November elections. Admin istration leaders know this. So, what is the purpose of the political jockeying appearing in the headlines of our news papers? m One section of the Truman gang rants about increasing prices and the necessity of legislative controls. It demands that Congress be called back to halt the upward spiral. Of course prices are going up. The administration will ' do its best to force them up. Presidential pressure to force a steel settlement right at party convention time shows what i the administration is doing. The settlement was accom panied by loud shouts of higher prices. If the administra tion was as much concerned about living costs as it professes, would it not have combatted demands for higher wages, knowing that steel sets the general pattern for industry? You may rest assured that the administration will do its utmost to foment dissatisfaction by keeping prices high. Then it will place the blame on Republicans in Congress, pointing ia refusal of Congress to pass control legislation for which .the President made such a fuss in the early days of the ses sion, even though he had authority at that time to do virtu ally everything his propose! program would have granted. ,', ' The strategy of the Truman gang is to keep everyone dissatisfied, frightened and confused, while placing ' the " blame everywhere except where it belongs. Congress Is Target Even deeper strategy surrounds the special session prop aganda. ' . While one section cries for emergency legislation to keep prices down, the other side says that if Congress came back it would only talk politics. The inference is, of course, that Republicans in Congress wouldn't permit anything to be done. . Actually, much of the Socialistic legislation from the Truman gang was killed off . in the Inst session, not by Republicans, but by anil-Trumnn Democrats. Certainly those members wouldn't approve price control legislation. Should the President call a special session, the only re - suit would be a waste of money. But the issue gives opportunity for spokesmen to get their propaganda printed in newspapers. So the little scheme they now are working is to capital ize upon the public's deep concern about rising living costs by defaming and disparaging Congress with the hope of gaining congressional scats at the November election. It's a neat political trick. And, what's worse, it may work. &ENDIHG BASKET I know many penpla who have been in Alaska and who like the country very much. But not for me! The very thought of all 'nat cold makes me shiver! 1 have dipt outdoors when it was 14 below in a warm bed on a porch witn a stoneware "pig" filled with boilinp water, and so many blankets ver me that 1 almost smothered intil 1 learned to divide them. One rmirt have as much under as one has over to keep warm outdoors.) Not long ago l read a slory alwiit two young couples who took a trailer over the ALCAN highway, settled down un there, and mad.? good in the wilderness. I also read hair-raising stones of the incred ible mechanical and technical op erations and achievement! of Uie Army in building the road as a military necessity in World War II. So I was amazed to read, in a National Geographic story Just now, that the highway "is a safe, simple possibility for anyone with good car and a respectable va cation budget." Now what do you luppose Is a respectable budge".' "Wooden fills over quaking mus keg have been replaced with a'.eel and concrete New bridges are be ing built constantly. Filling sta llions and hoslelries plentifully Jot 1 the route. Highway patrols prowi constantly. . . Alaskans believe that the Highway, built as a mil itary necessity, may become lha long-awaited means of entry for settlers they stand ready to wel come." It's 28 ft. wide, gravel jnd macadam, At first the United States main tained the whole length of 1520 l miles; now we have only 300 of j that. In 1946 the Canadian govern ! ment took over the rest. They re fused permits to all but a few, not wishing stranded people on their hands. But now the traffic is double that of last year! Well, probably I am talking about something I don't know a thing about, for lots of people think Alaska is tops as a place to live. Hut I don't want any of that cold. And when I think of that strip of 30 miles between American ter ritory and well, give me Oregon. ! But a summer trip if we had one jof those 'respectable vacation bud ! gets' would be very nice.

Mow, who has yet to account for some $7,000,000 or so in funds claimed by the Chinese Nationalist Government, fled to Mexico an attempt was made to serve legal papers on him and his attorney, Wil liam Roberts. John G. Broady, a New York attorney hired by the late Robert P. Patterson, former secretary of war. was assigned the task of keeping track of the Chinese Gc.i- oral Mow. Broady charges in sworn testimony before a Senate investigating committee that he was slugged by Mow's attorney, Roberts. He considers this minor, compared to other activity in missing. There are two versions of how Mow got to Mexico. Both are contained in sworn teslimony be fore the Senate Committee. Des pite the contrary versions, :l is admitted that Mow is there; :ht his attorneys, William Roberts and Warren Woods, visited him there; that he is in frequent contact with assistants in the United States, and that a mysterious "Marv Ann.

Here is part of j jn New York City, hands out large In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) story (which I've told many times in these chronicles) about the Chin ese when they were fighting the Japs? It goes something like this: "Chinese and Japs fight battle. Japs lose 1000 men. Chinese lose 50,000 men. Chinese and Japs fight again. Japs Ipse 2000. Chinese lose lOO.Ottl. "Plitty soon no more Japs." I wonder if the same strategic objective isn't ruling the thinking of the Chinese reds in Korea who in every battle lose many times over as many men as e lose. They may be saying to them selves confidently: "Plitty soon no more Americans." Broady's testimony: From time to time between the 20th of November and the 29th, 1951, I and an assistant of mine chunks of cash in lots of up to $50,000 on Mow's orders.

He was under sions that he had turned over to federal court orders to appear for wiiuam a. itnDcns money nc naa kept and which the Rciu'blic of China was trying to get away from him. ' He stated that William A Roberts knew that the money was turned over to him hy the Republic of China, but that Roberts told him he was entitled to keep the money and spend it by paying part of it to William A. Roberts. "In the course of one of Vow's conversations with several differ ent vhile American advisers who called on him and I say they were Americans because they ap peared to be Americans Mow claims that Owen Laltunoio, Am bassador Philip Jessup and Prew Pearson were in his corner. Alow also stated that he felt he was safe in keeping this money be cause Roberts had the Republic of China over a barrel, since Rob erts also represented Drew Pear son and could get Drew Pirson to blast the Republic of China of the air and in his column if the Republic of China tried to gel ti.o tough with Mow.

Body Of Flood Victim Found YAKIMA l.fl Search continued Tuesday along the wreckage strewn channel of Wenas Creek in Hie foothills north of here for a five - year - old boy. swept down stream in a flash flood Sunday. The body of the youngster's mother, Mrs. Norman Winchcll, 37, was found Monday a mile and a half from the original site of the family home. Mrs. Winchell and her son, Floyd, were thrown into the rampaging creek when their house was torn from its foundations by a wall of water which tollowed a mountain cloudburst. Two other members of the fam ily escaped. Four persons in tne area were hospitalized with in juries. Seven houses bordering the nor mally placid creek were swept Economic Stabilizer Roger Put nam doesn't think much of Gen eral Ike's statement in Los An geles to the general effect that we can eliminate price controls and at the same time can ultimately bring about lower prices. Addrcs j sing the annual convention of the I Massachusetts Federation of La I bor in Boston, Putnam says: "It's going to be somewhat of a feat to lower prices and end con trols at one and the same time even if the gentleman in ques tion (meaning Ikel exchanges the swagger stick of a general for the wand of a magician. No, Roger, it wouldn't be too much of a job. Just get everybody to working and producing. Make the federal government quit spending more than it takes in and paying the difference in funny money. Cut off as many as possible of the mil lions of non-productive federal em ployees and start THEM to producing. If that were done, wisely and Gov. Stevenson's Former Association With Alger Hiss Gives GOP Ammunition Bv JAMES MARLOVV WASHINGTON Gen. Eisenhower and Gov. Ste venson can try to keep this campaign on a high and imper sonal plane, talking about issues. But this is the kind of restraint which may inflict sad dle sores on some of the less inhibited members of both parties who are never reluctant to bash a head. So there is no reason for any one, yearning for the good old was nol a friend o( Ager Hiss, days, to feel melancholy about the former slate department employee piuaii.i u. a cuniuieiciy iinauu Bn0 was conVicted of perjury alter campaign. It can hardly be ad like that. Issues don't just float around in the air. People are attached to them on both sides. And, 1 since people have names, names will be used in the campaign. Not even Eisenhower and Stev enson can avoid using names. In this campaign the difference be tween dirt and decency will de pend upon how names are used.

Joseph McCarthy as an issue because of the kind of anti-Communist campaign the Wis consin Republican has conducted in the past few years.

The document is the signed let ter with which Naooleon III, last emperor of France, surrendered at Sedan to Wilhelm I of Germany. The document disappeared from the German court between 1872 and 1875. The letter lays: "Mister my brother, as I was unable to die in the midst of my troops. I have only to hand my sword in the hands of Your Majesty. I am, of Your Majesty, the good brother Napoleon." The document belongs to the two sons of the late attorney Hrancesco Galll, Gallo Quinto and Gallo Quarto. from abdominal surgery, and said ' Horsemeat Adlai should brush the odor of Alger Hiss off his toga before he advises Eisenhower." Stevenson was on the receiving end of a dig about the Hiss matter even before he was nominated. This happened at the Democratic convention during the polling of a state delegation. About a week ago Sen. Everett M Dirksen of Stevenson's own Illi.iois took a poke at Ste'enson for having been in the Stale De partment when Hiss was there. Still later Republican Gov. Theo dcre R.

The fact that Stevenson is di vorced will probably be introduced courageously, prices would come down in response to the working of the law of supply and demand In that event, we wouldn't NEED any controls. Here's the trouble with your thinking, Roger: You and your buddies have fig ured it out that if you are to stay in power you must convince the public that all good things FLOW FROM THE GOVERNMENT ALONE. You- story is that the government imposes price con trols, anu ihereiore it is Ihc brtiiv ficent government ALONE that keeps prices from running away and ruining everybody. Ike's idea is different. He thinks the price problem will solve it self if the government will quit spending the people's substance in riotous living, thus debasing the value of the people's money and making it purchase less and less t ic time. Personally, Roger, I prefer Ike's formula to yours, I'm getting tired of the government RUNNING EVERYTHING. It's fine for you and vour crowd, who ARE THE GOVERNMENT.

Asked if he had the identification of the per son in the Russian embassy, Bro ady replied: "I am sorry. I do not. The name was menlioned. It was a Russian name.
